Ampere: Communication-Efficient and High-Accuracy Split Federated Learning

Ampere is a new split federated learning system that reduces both on‑device computation and device‑server communication while improving accuracy. It trains device and server blocks sequentially with local losses, eliminating gradient transfers, and uses a lightweight auxiliary network to consolidate activations into a single transfer. Experiments on CNNs and Transformers show up to 11.70 pp accuracy gains, 18.6× faster training, 911× less communication, and 14.5× less computation compared to state‑of‑the‑art SFL baselines.

FedSAP: Federated Learning with Structured Adaptive Partitioning for Multi-Domain Heterogeneous Edge Devices

FedSAP is a federated learning framework that addresses heterogeneous edge devices by using structured pruning as a budget-constrained tri-state channel allocation. It partitions model channels into a Global pool, pseudo-domain-specific Private pools, and a Dropped state, allowing broadly useful features to be shared while isolating domain-sensitive updates. Experiments on Digits and Office-Caltech datasets show FedSAP achieving higher mean global accuracy than the strongest baseline while supporting up to 80% client pruning ratios.
